THIS is pay week. With 1t came a
food of work outside these columns,
dcuiandi':s nearly all our time and
thought. Hence, the greatest paper
in the county does not to-day bloom
like the wild rose, nor sparkle with
those brochures Of expression which 50
delight the Homecoming Rec 'c, nor yet
shine with those other marvels OF
polished Addisonianisms which make
the Cumberland Workman, so,called,

luck next time, we hope.

IT seems that the docket of suits
against four citizens of this place, as
printed in this paper last week, was
not designed for publication.
AT least, all the papers are fighting
shy>of the news so given, leaving the
JOURNAL to enjoy monopoly.
Three of these suits tend to stop the
tongues of the people the remaining
one to stlile the press.
And mighty Silence, twin of
Darkness, sired by Ancient Night, APP
pears to have fallen on free speech
and free press, and all the air of
popular opinion is hushed into stag
nation.
What despotism is this which sways
its sceptre so effectively over the
reputedly sovereign right of popular
discussion, otherwise so intolerant of
invasion
What autocracy is this which says
to the press-''be still" and 10, the
great trumpet-tongued tribunes of the
people, 'erewhile and otherwise so
brave, sink away into abiect sub
jugation?
In short, who is Caesar?
1t is no more important to us to
know than to any other single citizen,
hut it is high time every man should
adopt the inquiry and, ascertaining
the fact, either take the oath of al
legiance to his monarch, or assert his
own iudepondent manhood.

Senator Ey.rt. and Mark Twain.

Senator Evarts has undoubtedly pre-
sided over more banquets than any other
man in New York. His old fashioned
rolling collar and his finely plated shirt
bosom are familiar sights to all OF the
walters at DelmonicO's, the Hoffman or
the Brunswick. The urbane senator en-
joys good dinner and good company, and
with rare forbearance he never infiicts q
long speech upon his fellow diners. Even
his abnormal tendency TO long and in
tricate sentences is curbed upon social
occasions. Mr.. EvartS' special weakness
as presiding officer is the INTERPRETING Of
faceaous comments on the efforts Of the
other speakers. He delights TO diffuse
mirth and good fellowship, and his face
tiOusness never has the sting OF acerbity.
Occasionally in attempting to score point
on a fellow speaker no suffers the fats Of
the boomerang thrower. An instance in
point occurred at the New England Society
dinner last winter. Mark Twain had just
finished IN extraordinarily piquant ad-
dress when Mr.. Evarts arose, showed both
Of his hands down into his trousers pockets
as is his habit, and laughingly remarked:
Doesn't it strike this company as 5 little
unusual that s professional humorist
should be funny"
Mark Twain waited until the laughter
excited by this sally had subsidized and then
drawled out: Doesn't it strike this COM
pany as a little unusual that lawyer
should have his hand IN his own pocket"

Anthracite was discovered in PennSyl-

Allen, according 70 the stories and trsdi-
tions that have been handed down about
him must have been kind Of American
Rip Van Wrinkle. He had come down
from the Lake Champlsin lumber region,
and opened an inn on the summit of the
Broad mountain For . time he led a
wandering existence, hunting, fishing and
numbering. while his wife attended to the
wants of thirsty travellers. In one OF his
hunting excursions he camped cut at the
foot Of the Broad mountain at spot
where a coal vein cropped out, and upon
lighting q fire was astouished at the in
tense heat it threw of. He also saw that
some of the black stone had become red
hot He dug some Of 1t and carried 1t
home, when his wife, more practical than
himself, pronounced it coal.
They saw the coal crop out in abun-
dance, and visions OF fortunes that might
be realized out Of it flashed through their
minds simultaneously. So, disposing Of
their effects, they loaded two largo Gov
cred wagons with coal and set out for
Philadelphia with the intention OF mar
keting it there and discovering its true
value. They drove along tn. banks Of the
Schuylkill, sleeping in the open air at
night At Pottstown three OF their horses
died, and the coal was dumped into the
river Wearied and disheartcned, the
pair returned to the old place at the sum-
nit Of the mountain. and shortly after
ward Allen laid his faithful wife to rest
over the coal vein that proved their ruin
and turned his face toward the west,
where after an uneyentful career he en-
listed for the campaign under Harrison

This story Is told OF Julius Chambers,
the new managing editor of The Herald,
by one of his old chiefs: Some twelve
years ago / sent Chambers to the insane
asylum at Bloomingdale to report from
actual observation abuses which were said
to exist there. He went there under due
process of law. He pretended to be in
sane, and acted his part SO well as to de-
ceive two physicians, q professional nurse,
the magistrate who committed him and
the expert doctors who had charge Of the
asylum. He was in the asylum for
two weeks and was released when a writ
of habess corpus was served on the keep
ers.
When in Spain for The Herald some
years since, Chambers got possession Of
treaty between Spain and this country
which Gen. Daniel E. Sickles was nego-
tiating He wished to telegraph it to
The Herald but knew he could not get
the Spanish censor to approve it. He hit
upon the queer alternative Of telegraph
ing the points Of the treaty as il 1t applied
to some adventure of the Prince o. Wales

A telegram sent COD. was received
from the Hon. Emblem Spooner, of
Toronto, saying that he was about to
start for Detreit to deliver o series Of lect-
ures on physiognomy to eolored people
only.
Members Of the Lime Kiln club would
be admitted free Of charge. Among other
things the Hon. Emblem will convince his
hearers:
That large feet denote great brain
power.
That a red nose is the index OF soul
which readily absorbs all that is beautiful
in nature or art.
That a double chin denotes a strong
leaning toward murder.
That bow legs and melancholy tempera-
ments go together.
In brief, the physiognomist will knock

middle of next summer, and all at the low
price of ten cents.-Detroit Free Press.

ton He never gives way to anger except
when lie can afford the luxury. Saadi

grossly insulted by mighty parsonage
nursed his wrath for fifteen years. Then,
his way leading him along . certain high
road, he sees his enemy, fallen into dis
grace and stripped Of all power, nailed to
the cross and nearly expiring. The
dervish deliberately went in search Of a
big, Jagged stone, and having found one
threw it at the dying man. This, Saadi
says, is what n wise man should do under
similar circumstances.-Wolf Won Scher-

Gen. Logsn's Sudden Dcsth

Is a great shock TO the nation. Few knew
that H. was even indispOsed when the news
OF his death flashed over the wires and
thousands OF people stood aghaSt at the
sudden change from health and yigOr to
cold and silent death. For the past twOniy-
live years there has been no man more con-
stantly before the public that General John
A. Logan. Through all his career he has
been noted for his fearleSssneSs and purity
OF character. both in public and private life.
Loved by friends and respected by enemies,
he will be mourned by all.
Ills death adds another TO the long list
OF victims to sudden and acute rheumatism
Probably no disease is 50 common as rhsu-
matism, none is more sudden or dangerous.
and there is certainly none which so COM
pletely battles medical skill.
Only one remedy mas yet been discovered
which is sure and safe cure for rheuma-
item and its twain disease, neuralgia. and
that is Athlophoros. In thousands of cases
Athlophoros has proved quick and Ger
tain cure for these diseases. In connec-
ton with AthlophoroS Pills it has never
failed TO speedily effect cure.
In all probability many deaths attributed
to heart disease are caused by these terrible
diseases, which are far more dangerous
than is generally c0nsideIed.
Rheumatism. even though in very mild
form, is extremely dangerous, for 1t is liza
